The barbecue luncheon was not over until the last moment of the Shen time.

Satisfied, Xue Pan and Feng Ziying left together, but Baoyu said that he still had something to do and stayed with Qiguan.

After the two people left, Baoyu said warmly as he walked out: "Brother Qiang, Mrs. Qian'er called me to say that she heard about you and was thinking about it, and wanted to invite you to sit in the house. I asked.

Do you have free time tomorrow night?"

Hearing this, Jia Qiang raised her eyebrows slightly and said: "My wife calls me over, and I can do it at any time. I just don't know if my wife calls me, a junior, to come over. Do you have any important instructions?"

Jia Qiang followed Baoyu in calling Mrs. Wang "Mrs.", not because she was a peer, but because "Mrs." was the official title for Mrs. Wang in the Jia family, and Mrs. Wang was a fifth-grade Yiren imperial edict.

Baoyu smiled and said, "Can I give you any urgent instructions? Don't prepare anything. Just go and sit at home tomorrow afternoon."

Baoyu naturally knew why his mother, Mrs. Wang, invited Jia Qiang to sit at home. She thought it was because she knew that because of Jia Qiang, he had been coming to the clan school for several days in a row to study, and she wanted Jia Qiang to continue to work hard in the future...

But he might be disappointing his mother, because he won't be coming to school from tomorrow. Wouldn't it be more carefree to play with Sister Lin and the other sisters at home?

After Jia Qiang agreed, Baoyu asked Qiguan with a smile: "What are you doing here? Are you waiting for me?"

Although Jia Qiang's appearance is more outstanding than Qiguan's, in the past two days, Jia Baoyu felt that Qiguan was more approachable and someone who shared the same path with him.

And Jia Qiang...

How should I put it? It seems a bit superficial.

She seems to have a girl-like character, but she only studies the eight-legged official career. Now she is still keen on economics, which makes Baoyu a little disappointed.

Unexpectedly, Qi Guan smiled and said: "I stayed here to talk to Second Master Qiang about something..." He didn't show off, he looked at Jia Qiang with a pair of peach blossom eyes and said: "Second Master Qiang, would you like to bring the barbecue and today's smoothie?"

Sell ​​in some shady stuff?"

Jia Qiang was curious: "What's so shameful about it?"

Qiguan smiled and said: "For example, Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, or the Liyuan Theater, I can help."

Before Jia Qiang opened her mouth, Baoyu immediately became unhappy and said, "What are you talking about? It's enough to say that the brothel is a shameful place, but how come the Liyuan Theater has also become a shameful place?"

Qi Guan didn't answer, and only used a pair of peach blossom eyes to express a faint resentment at Baoyu, but Baoyu's bones almost melted...

Jia Qiang secretly twitched the corner of her mouth and declined with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, but how can something as fishy as barbecue enter the beautiful place of the Liyuan?" She smiled and said: "Anyway, I can't imagine that famous actors on the stage.

The child is singing an opera, and a group of people in the audience are holding a skewer of barbecue, their mouths are full of oil, and they are vaguely applauding. "

As soon as these words came out, Qiguan and Baoyu, who were a little disappointed at first, laughed out loud.

But Qi Guan also saw that Jia Qiang seemed to want to keep a distance from him.

I would rather associate with Xue Pan, who is stupid, big, black and thick, than get too close to him, or even get too close to Feng Ziying.

While feeling regretful, there is also confusion in my heart:

Could it be that Jia Qiang knows the identities behind them...

…

Ningguofu West Road Courtyard.

I saw five gates in the black oil fence, with a plaque hanging on it, which read the four words "Jia's Ancestral Hall" and "Yansheng Gong Kong Jizong Shu" beside it.

There is a long couplet on both sides, which reads:

The liver and brain are ruined, and the surname is due to the kindness of Baoyu.

The fame spreads all over the world, and it has been steamed and tasted for hundreds of generations.

Also written by Yan Sheng Gong.

However, the long couplet on the right was half burned last night.

The atmosphere in Ningguo Mansion was solemn today, and it took most of the day to restore the long couplet.

Then Jia Zhen invited two masters of Xifu, Jia She and Jia Zheng, to conduct inspections.

Although Ning was the elder brother among the two Rong Ning princes.

But in the second generation, Rongguo still inherited the title of Duke, but Ningguo was only a first-class general, and the gap widened.

In the third generation, Rong Guo inherited the title of first-class general, while Ning Guo Jia Jing first attacked the second-class general, and ended up not being an official for two days. He passed the title to the fourth generation Jia Zhen, who only became a third-class general.

In this way, the gap between Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion is getting wider and wider.

Not to mention that the Rongguo Mansion also has a Duke's wife who is in charge. This is the order of a serious first-class lady. She can go directly to the middle palace with the Fengbao Golden Book and ask the emperor and empress to decide on her transcendent status.

Not counting the Tian Family clan, there are only a handful of women in the world who are more noble than her.

Therefore, even though Ning Guo is the head of the clan and Jia Zhen is still the clan leader, their weight within the clan is still not comparable to that of Rong Guo Mansion.

A major event like the flood of the ancestral hall cannot be explained in a few words.

"Since last night, my nephew has been kneeling in the ancestral hall to plead guilty to his ancestors. The ancestral hall is in trouble. All the sins are on my nephew."

With a sad look on her face, Jia Zhen knelt down and apologized to the two half-old men.

The older man, who was covered in luxury, looked at the fire in the gatehouse and asked in a long voice: "Brother Zhen, get up, don't apologize for it. But this good gatehouse place, how can it be lost for nothing? It can be checked

We found out, but someone has bad intentions and is deliberately causing harm?"

This person is Jia She, the hereditary first-class general who inherited the title of Rong Guofu.

The other person is naturally Jia Zheng, the head of the Duke's mansion who lives with Mrs. Rongguo in the main hall of Rongguo. He asked in a deep voice: "The important place of the ancestral hall is guarded day and night. Who dares to have evil intentions? Who can do it?

Do you mean to cause harm?"

As soon as these words came out, Jia Zhen's face twitched heavily. Naturally, he could not tell Jia Zheng and Jia She that he had dismissed all the servants nearby in order to pursue forbidden pleasures in Tianxiang Tower not far away.

Even Jiao Da was secretly lured out to have a drink.

After coughing, Jia Zhen said sadly: "My nephew asked the four servants who were on duty again and again. They all said that last night was normal, but the water disappeared without any warning. Not only them, my nephew was in Tianxiang Tower last night.

I passed by here before to handle some clan affairs."

When Jia She heard this, his expression immediately changed, and he said with an awe-inspiring expression: "If this is the case, this casual person will be famous."

Jia Zheng frowned when he heard this, but he didn't say anything like "The son is silent and has strange power and chaos."

Jia Zhen nodded and said: "Who says it's not the case, so my nephew sent Brother Rong to Qingxu Temple to consult the old god Zhang on divination early this morning before dawn..."

Jia She hurriedly asked: "What did Master Zhang say?"

The Zhang Zhenren mentioned by Jia She was originally the stand-in for the Duke of Rongguo Mansion at that time. He was once called the "Great Fantasy Immortal" by the emperor himself. Now he holds the seal of "Daolu Division" and is now called the "Zhuzhen Zhenren".

, now all the princes and feudal towns call him "immortal", so Jia She believes in him quite a lot.

Jia Zhen said with tears in her eyes: "Zhang Shenxian said that this must be an unscrupulous member of the clan who has done something rebellious that destroyed the foundation of Rong Ning, and that is why he has incurred the wrath of the spirits of our ancestors in the sky. They have lowered their wrath to warn future generations."

As soon as these words came out, Jia She and Jia Zheng were both panicked.

Even Jia Zheng did not believe in ghosts and gods, but he also believed in the spirits of his ancestors. The two of them almost shed tears in grief.

Jia She shouted loudly: "Which beast is it that does something unlawful and makes our ancestors angry?"

However, Jia Rong, who was standing behind Jia Zhen, felt that there was a faint lack of energy in the sharp shouting.

From top to bottom, there are only a few serious people in the Jia family, but not many bastards.

This Mr. Jia She can at least be ranked among the top three.

However, at this moment, Jia Rong saw his father kneeling to the ground with a "pop", and he knelt down in panic. His ears heard his father's grief-stricken and regretful voice, saying: "Two uncles, It’s all my fault that my nephew is really blind and raised a beast that is worse than a pig or a dog!”

As soon as he said this, he felt the solemn gazes of the two elders of Rong Mansion. Jia Rong felt chills all over his body, his neck softened, and he knocked his head heavily on the ground...

PS: Thanks to the two old book friends Ji Bing Rewards from new and old book friends such as Zero, Wen Shunwen, Hitagi, Shuishui Shuo and others.

Let me just say a few more words. I published single chapters in three old books today, and then I saw a lot of familiar IDs, mostly old faces. I’m really happy, it feels a bit like meeting old friends again.

I am a person who doesn’t have many friends in life, so I treat everyone as my friend.

Many people have been seeing me almost every day since 15 years. When I was a drunk burglar, I saw them every night, hahaha!

I will probably keep writing, and I hope that we can see these old faces every year. I hope that everyone will live a safe life and have a successful career.

Of course, we also welcome some new book friends, because by next year and the year after, you will also be old faces.

Finally, please ask for a wave of recommendation votes and rewards.

Recommendation votes are free. I hope the data will be better and I can make it to the list.

Rewards cost a little more, but they don’t need to be much, just one dollar or two cents is fine. It’s also because of the data and the number of fans.

It stands to reason that nowadays, it is possible to purchase items such as recommendations and collections, but investment in new books is difficult to purchase.

But our new book investment is very good, the data is really gratifying, why can’t other data keep up...

There are only about twenty fans, which is really shameful.
Chapter completed!
